In this hands-on workshop you learn about the history and techniques while creating your own Christmas sampler based on Jacobean embroidery.

Crewelwork, also known as Jacobean, is traditional embroidery associated with the 16th and 17th Centuries. Although, it stems from Saxon times.  In this one-day workshop, you will learn a selection of the traditional stitches and how to raise a section by padding to create this little robin as part of a ‘Christmas Crewel’ sampler. The finished piece would make a lovely cushion or decorative top for an advent calendar for the holiday season.  

Materials: Fabric and threads are supplied as part of the workshop fee. 

Bring your own: 8 inch embroidery hoop, scissors and basic sewing kit.
